3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar
2 c. softened butter
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. flaked coconut

In large mixer bowl, combine all ingredients except coconut. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in coconut. Divide dough into halves; shape each half into a 12 x 2 inch roll. Wrap in waxed paper, refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut rolls into 1/4 inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Makes about 8 dozen.
